Parking brake warning light stays on. Stationary. Gm recall #15259. Root issue electronic parking brake drag.
While engine running and vehicle is stationary and/or in motion the brake lights flash intermittently. Brakes do not engage, but it does cause cruise control to disengage. Saw a recall for this, but my VIN not included.
It has a few different problems. The first being a trunk seal that was already recalled, yet my “fixed” seal wasn’t even fixed and my trunk is still taking on water when it rains. The other problem started a week ago. My abs light came on while driving and the traction control light and neither will go off. Today while driving my car felt like it was losing power all of a sudden and a dinger went off and the brake assist light came on as well as 2 parking break lights. Both times the lights come on I was driving. None of the lights will go off, and now it’s dinging for a minute or more just because of the warning light.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the brake warning light illuminated. In addition, the vehicle skid to a stop and the engine stalled. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the e-brake needed to be replaced and the electronic parking brake software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 14v541000 (parking brake). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,000. The VIN was not available.
The parking brake will not disengage the rear brakes after pressing the electronic parking brake button. The red parking brake light on the dash goes out but the rear brakes are still engaged. The driver will be unaware that the problem exists until smoke begins rolling out of the rear wheels. This is a safety hazard that should be investigated by NHTSA due to the number of similar complaints already reported.
